PROFESSIONAL COURSE IN CONTEMPORARY DANCE

Coline is a full time training for young dancers. It is located in the premises of the Maison de la Danse Intercommunale in Istres / France.

Its main purpose is to form dancers by developing their artistic and technical skills, confronting them to the realities of the profession and by leading them to a real artistic commitment.

Coline brings the trainees to a professional level in contemporary dance, with a daily program including classes, workshops, repertory pieces and performances in France and abroad.

The course covers a period of 21 months and develops 4 main topics :

2. a work on repertory pieces as well as original pieces with guest choreographers,
